@stevenroose Well I was witness to hundreds of such incidents over the years growing ever more frequent. The last one I witnessed which triggered me fleeing to the EU was when I witnessed well known antifa (dressed in the uniform and folks I interacted with earlier in that day when the Antifa was organizing) throwing explosives at an older couple (and others) for wearing a MAGA hat.
Not sure what explosives they were, some sort of high yield illegal fireworks. Something bigger than an m-80 firework by the looks of it.
While this was one of the worst incidents the others I recall (which id be happy to reiterate) were still pretty horrific. Including but not limited to kicking someone repeatedly while on the ground in the gutter, also an older fellow who wasnt violent in any way prior to that.
